A picture is really worth a thousand words

As a fundamentally visual medium comics provide scaffolding for
students, bringing together visual and text based learning. Students can
create a one page comic illustrating a concept or a more complex
multipage storyline in Comic Life. Incorporating photos and drawings
to their narratives is a fun way for students to cement narrative arcs,
demonstrate understanding and be creative!

Whole Class

The process for creating a comic as a whole class can be fun as well
as an excellent experience for students to polish their interpersonal
communication skills. The process, however, is likely to be very
different from any other kind of writing and will require students and
the teacher to quickly change roles.

Small Group Digital Graphic Writing

Older students may wish to create comics in smaller groups. The
dynamics from group to group will vary, and the teacher will need to
monitor and make suggestions as necessary. Otherwise the process will be
similar to the one above.

Digital Graphic Writing as a Solitary Pursuit

Students can make comics individually, of course, and may much prefer
it to collaboration. How much is text and how much is graphics will
vary from student to student, project to project. Comic Life can be used
to produce work which is mostly text and fewer images as well as
graphic dominated comics. Students may use Comic Life for a variety of
different writings.
